Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I literally did not say that.
Do you think "force out of office" means passively wait until the next election where you then defeat them at the ballot box?
No, but then what does it mean? You literally can't remove him until his term ends.
What? Do you base your "literally" statements on just gut feelings?
There are multiple ways a governor of California can be removed from office. There was literally already a recall election against this governor, there's also impeachment, and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.
With 61% voting no. I mean,
-Wikipedia. This was a conservative effort to remove Newsom because he was too "woke", and the fact you used it as supporting evidence makes your whole argument questionable.
Needs the Democrat-dominated state legislature to cooperate, and saying one bad thing about trans women in sports once just isn't enough of a Bad Thing for that.
See above. Good luck getting the normies engaged.
So to reiterate my point: As long as he doesn't do something disastrously corrupt or incompetent, there's literally nothing you can do to remove him from office before his term ends.
So I'll take that all as a yes, because for some reason instead of saying "oh, yeah, I guess people could be trying to force him out" you've pivoted from "it's literally impossible" to "bad people tried it and even taking about it is suspicious" and "it probably wouldn't succeed".
Which is the whole point. "Progressive" California isn't even attempting to (let alone likely to succeed at) remove their governor for promoting an alt-right activist and attacking trans people, so "too conservative for California" is a pretty high bar.
